Veganism is growing in popularity and the diet is more of a lifestyle change, which involves ruling out all kinds of animal meats as well as dairy products in the favour of more plant-based products. Some vegans even go to the extent of removing cosmetics and other products that have been tested on animals. However, as a diet, veganism is about relying on plants and plant products for all our dietary needs. This is the reason vegan flours, sweeteners and even faux meats are being launched in the market. Plant-based milks and butters have already penetrated the shelves of supermarkets around the world, offering more options to those who follow the vegan diet. The popular perception around veganism is that it presents a person with lesser options for preparing meals.

More and more studies have now cropped up about the potential benefits of veganism, for reducing inflammation, regulating body weight, reducing risk of heart conditions etc. Moreover, the potential of veganism for reducing dietary carbon footprint is also convincing a lot of people around the globe to adopt this diet. Vegan diet can also be made interesting by incorporating some creatively made dairy and meat-free products in recipes for regular dishes. If you’ve recently turned vegan and are looking for some inspiration to begin your journey, our vegan and refined sugar-free recipes may help give a kick-start to your journey.

Thandai is a summer essential that is prepared across the subcontinent as a flavourful and sweet drink.

You can drink this refreshing beverage for a sweet respite from the heat and for its beneficial properties.

Vegans may experience some trouble in working with new ingredients, but some trial and error may help you get a hang of vegan cooking techniques and ingredients. Happy cooking!
